IB/ipoib: fix for rare multicast join race condition

Browse Source 
commit 08bc327629 upstream.

A narrow window for race condition still exist between
multicast join thread and *dev_flush workers.
A kernel crash caused by prolong erratic link state changes
was observed (most likely a faulty cabling):

Here was a hit spot:
ipoib_mcast_join() {
..............
      rec.qkey      = priv->broadcast->mcmember.qkey;
                                       ^^^^^^^
.....
 }
Proposed patch should prevent multicast join task to continue
if link state change is detected.

Changes from v4:
- as suggested by Doug Ledford, optimized spinlock usage,
i.e. ipoib_mcast_join() is called with lock held.
Changes from v3:
- sync with priv->lock before flag check.
Chages from v2:
- Move check for OPER_UP flag state to mcast_join() to
ensure no event worker is in progress.
- minor style fixes.
Changes from v1:
- No need to lock again if error detected.
